The Story Continues: Bubblegum Crash Overview
Bubblegum Crash builds on the foundation of the original series, Bubblegum Crisis, which debuted in 1987. The series follows the Knight Sabers, a team of female mercenaries combating the powerful Genom corporation. Genom is known for creating Boomers, artificial cybernetic humanoids integral to the Bubblegum Crisis world. In Bubblegum Crash, set in 2034 MegaTokyo, Boomers are heralded as saviors. Yet peace is threatened by mercenaries targeting an advanced AI, with only Sylia Stingray and the reunited Knight Sabers standing in their way.
